    If you and the kids are fine and ate the same thing, it may be something else he ate or a bug he caught. Some people can't do xanthan gum but we already know this is not in your meal, so unless he has a problem with a specific ingredient that you have yet to pinpoint, it may just be bad timing caused by something else. Usually bad meals don't make you...

    I like this pie crust recipe without the instant clearjel: Open Original Shared Link Don't overwork it.. even though you don't have to worry about gluten making it tough, you do want to keep some chunks of butter in there. Lard makes a really good and tasty crust as well. Bobs red mill makes a pie crust mix that I have heard is good.

    ARCHIVED Mexican?

    LauraTX replied to cwnhokie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Have you gotten him tested for Celiac disease? For testing to be accurate, he needs to be consuming gluten. If that is not in the plan for you guys and you are just going gluten-free without a diagnosis, just know he will have to go back on gluten eating for any future testing to be accurate. As far as the grief over not having the old things, it is...

    LauraTX replied to cwnhokie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    If you are at a restaurant and you do not speak the same language as the staff, unless there is a gluten-free menu or something that you can have faith in, do not do it. It can help bringing in a person who speaks spanish, but even then, you are possibly dealing with people who have no idea what gluten is, and in the competitive restaurant world, may be...

    Fenrir, that is a great example of how a friendly relationship with the staff at a restaurant can really make a difference. It is awesome you were able to educate your favorite places around you.

    Hopefully I can offer some advice on the husband part of this story. It is going to take him longer to "get it" because he is not living it. We went through the same thing like the chinese restaurant situation with In N out Burger. It is in an area we go shopping at and on a Saturday night when all the sit down places have an hour long wait there is no...

    With the price thing, it is something you just get used to after a while. Instead of "ouch I have to buy the 6 dollar flour" it is "I am going to buy flour". You just accept it as reality and maybe give a little more to the grocery budget. I will steer towards things that are more economical if there is a big cost difference per serving among two safe...

    Ah yes... just like me as a child, putting everything into the mouth! I was also a hair chewer. Original Germ-x does not contain gluten, my hand sanitizer of choice. The hints blessedmommy gave you are great for shampoo and pet food. I use a store brand unscented lotion that has no gluten ingredients. Just start out by taking a look at the products you...

    No gluten suspects there, but like cyclinglady said, there are a lot of high potential for allergy ingredients in there. If you usually don't have any problems with personal care products, you are probably fine. However, if you have random allergies to various products, I would use a small test spot first to see if it agrees with your skin. For skin oil...
  10. LauraTX
    Mitchgam, you have indicated before that your issue is a wheat allergy. That is a completely different issue than celiac disease and DH. Therefore, your advice is not going to apply to most people who are only having Celiac Disease/DH problems.

    Noooo not gluten-free rice krispies! Ah well never really bought them just like having the option. I have read that growth in the gluten-free products market is slowing down, so I highly suspect the "bubble" in the market will pop eventually, and we will see a lot of the gluten-free products from mainstream brands pulled. Hopefully the good gluten-free...

    Good to hear you finally got an answer.

    I have been to a Texas Roadhouse before- long time ago, and they had big yellow signs on the door warning about peanuts. There is another chain Logan's Roadhouse, that we used to go to a lot pre-celiac days.... and they have the same peanuts all over. But no warning signs, nothing at all. I would sit there and ponder how long it will take for someone to...

    Perfect example of a careless employee that can screw things up, even at the best of places. Glad you at least saw it before consuming!!
  15. LauraTX
    Sorry to hear you are so ill. It could be that on top of the mild glutening you also caught a bug which helped you be extra sick. Sounds like you are doing the right thing by hydrating, hope you feel better soon!

    LauraTX replied to sella's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    If you have untreated Celiac disease, hair loss can be a symptom. However, with it being in just that area, it makes me wonder if it is from something else. If you wear ponytails or do stuff where tension is on your hair often, that can cause hair loss. Usually when you see a young lady with thinning, fuzzy hair in the temples and above the forehead, that...

    Welcome to the board, Angie! A lot of us also have autoimmune disorders along with our Celiac Disease. I have lupus as well as Celiac, and the advice I can offer is to let you know that you have to take care of all your conditions at once to be healthy. So, dive on in to gluten-free eating and take it seriously, and you may see improvement overall and...

    That looks really good, Ruth. Bookmarking this for when I get a waffle iron and can make those crispy waffles... LOL
  19. LauraTX
    Not many people on the board have been on TPN or IV vitamins other than iron, but if you are to the point that you need it, you are probably going to feel tons better with it. Sorry I can't give you too much more info, but I do hope it makes you a lot better.

    I haven't felt the need to try the Fasano diet. I do have problems with things like acidic foods and fatty foods, so there are other things besides gluten I don't eat.

    As Karen said, you probably will not get answers from the original posters, but if you use your internet search and put in your city name and "plasma center" you should find some places to call and contact for information. Edit to add this link. Just clicked through on the original link and this is the new page: Open Original Shared Link Remember...

    Just a fancy name for a fancier blue cheese... haha. Now I want some steak gorgonzola alfredo. I better get on it in the kitchen soon!

    What exact IV nutritional therapy do they have you on?
  24. LauraTX
    Cocoa and coffee are both similarly processed... and there is a lot of processing involved to take it from the raw plant to your mouth. While it is unlikely to come into contact with wheat, I would be careful where you source it from, and maybe try to get whole coffee beans you grind yourself. Also, this is directed at all future readers as a whole, not...

    If you are buying maize flour made in your country, inquire with the manufacturer and ask them if they make anything with wheat in the same plant. If tortillas are a highly consumed item in Costa Rica where you are, there are probably places that make just maize flour and/or maize tortillas.
